> easy answer: Brad Leithauser

Well, there are two or three on the list unfamiliar to me, and I agree that 
Leithauser would be a good answer, but I don't think any but two or three 
can be said to be significantly less mediocre than all the others on the 
list.

Now, how about a comparison of Pulitzer Prize Poets, Poet Laureates and 
MacArthur Poets--which group's poetry is best, which worst?
